Napoleon lost La Salle, one of the best cavalry commander. At one instance when Napoleon asked La Salle about his marriage date he said" I will marry when I have money. At which Napoleon said" I gave you 200,000 France last week for your marriage. LaSalle replied I spent half of the amount to pay my debts and lost the rest half in gambling. Napoleon smiled and ordered his prefect to provide another 200,000 France to LaSalle. Later when prefect asked Napoleon why didn't he disciplined LaSalle, he replied " "It only takes a stroke of a pen to create a prefect, but it takes twenty years to make a Lasalle".
From my perspective this battle was bloody and Napoleon won a battle ( but not due to his genius). Napoleon lost more men than Austrians at Wagram and above all some of his greatest commanders. General Saint Hilaire General Despaine Marshal Lannes General LaSalle All these men died against Austria.
Thanks for the videos 🦞!
You are welcome
Napoleon committed the same mistake which Russians committed at Friedland. They both fought battle with river behind them.
Nice reaction man. Looking forward to the next episodes which will be really interesting. Also how's your health condition.
Thank you so much!!! 🦞🦞
